Distilling Doom down to the Switch was a small miracle. Yes I played it and encountered the visual smear and some audio issues, but they were worth working through to be able to easily play it on the go. I immediately plopped down for ...

ID Software's RAGE and Doom (2016) will be coming to Xbox Game Pass today. While the announcement says, "Available Now," the Xbox Live servers may not have updated when you go to check. In any regard, this is a great way to experience both ...

The original soundtrack to Bethesda's DOOM will be getting an official release this Summer. The highly-praised and 100% metal score will be made available on CD and in a selection of stunning blood-red vinyl sets.Coming from distributor Lac...

Doom is calling my name and I'm tempted to play through the whole thing again. id Software plans to roll out an update for Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Pro tomorrow that enables 4K support.
This video is about it for details, so we'll have ...

I'm still a bit bothered that Bethesda waited until the zero hour to give out review copies for Doom -- they should have been shouting about how great it was from the rooftops a week in advance. Over time though I think people got the ...

The Nintendo Switch version of Doom is an admirable effort, to be sure, but the port is not without its issues. One of the more annoying problems is that the audio can glitch out from time to time, as shown here. It's the type of thing you ...

Out of nowhere, a three hundred pound man in an Avengers t-shirt barrels through the crowd, stomping on a child who falls to the ground clutching a Steam gift card between rigor-mortis frozen fingers.
An old man is pushed violently under a ...

PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One.
It's a weird phrase I'm not used to seeing. During the Wii U era, PC, PS4, Xbox One kind of just flowed out of my fingertips. It's muscle memory at this point, seeing a major multiplatform game on the "big three" ...

Doom for Switch is pretty much the port that should not be. How is it possible that one of the largest games of 2016 (from a storage perspective) can even fit on a system with such limited capacity, not to mention on a retail cartridge? Are...

In the week following Nintendo's reveal of Doom coming to the Switch, we've gotten a bunch of info about the specifics of how large it will be and how it will perform. While we already knew the game cart wasn't going to include multiplayer,...

After the surprise reveal of Doom during Nintendo's direct tonight, questions about how the game would actually fit on the Switch started to come up for me. We've already heard a lot about how titles like Resident Evil: Revelations will req...

In 2017 there's a Doom mod for just about everything. If you wanna turn the world of Doom into a different sort of hell, check out the "Woah! Crash Bandicoot" Doom mod.
This terrifying mod turns all of the demons into shrieking Crash Bandic...

Last year's DOOM is already one of my favorite first-person shooters. Every piece of the game feels as though it was designed to hit players like a sack of bricks. Its combat encounters are violent and snappy affairs that encourage both con...

I'm sure most people with any interest in the genre have probably gotten around to playing Doom. It's one of the best FPS games around, and I'm speaking as a huge fan of the original games. In a bit of a surprise move, Bethesda recently ann...

Doom's latest update marks some big changes for its multiplayer mode. A blog post from Bethesda explains how the progression system is receiving a total overhaul and, more notably, how all the previously released DLC (a season pass original...

There's thunder and lightning flashing outside as I write this, which adds a nice bit of punctuation to the mad science that I'm writing about. I would have never believed it could be so easy, but apparently the onboard computer in the Pors...

2016 wasn’t the best year for gaming, at least in my opinion. We definitely saw some solid titles come out (along with the end of a decade-long wait for two games!), but a lot of the major releases this year were retreads of tired the...

The fifth free update for Doom rolls out today, and with it comes a new grab-the-ball-and-score multiplayer mode, Infernal Run, as well as a higher level cap, bots (!!!), and a better SnapMap.
As much as I don't have any interest in returni...

Doom is a really solid shooter. It evokes old-school level design with an emphasis on all-out action and not a lot in the way of fluff. The story definitely draws too much attention towards the end, but the game has a breakneck pace that ha...

I played Doom once and adored it. Then I went straight back in to mop up the collectibles, and continued having a good time. Next it was on to the multiplayer, which didn't do much for me, and I've since been meaning to play the campaign a...

Ever since the release of Doom back in May, fans have been clamoring for an official soundtrack release. Bethesda was silent on the matter and, oddly, didn't even have a digital version for purchase. People just wanted to rip and tear at th...

YouTuber and Doom modder Robert Prest has loosely recreated No Man's Sky in the old-school Doom without ever having played the actual game, just basing his mod off trailers alone. It seems Prest has pretty much nailed it to me, o...

Even if I have little to no interest in returning to Doom's multiplayer, I'm glad to see it have continued support. Following the fairly recent Unto the Evil DLC (more maps and gear, plus a new Harvester demon), id Software has pushed out ...

Doom's multiplayer will be receiving a free update, soon, which will add deathmatch to the selection of game modes. Private matches are also coming, allowing players to tweak settings to their liking. Users can opt to turn off demon powers ...

The unthinkable happened in 2016: Bethesda made a good Doom game. Like, a really good one. Like, an honest-to-god contender for game of the year good one. If you haven't played it yet, now's your chance to get it on the cheap.
Amazon has dr...

Doom DLC doesn't really interest me (the base game was fine on its own), but Bethesda is doing a few cool things with it that have me perked up.
The new Unto the Evil pack was released yesterday in honor of QuakeCon 2016, and it b...

After touching up Doom with a photo mode and a "classic" gun placement option, id Software has shifted its attention to multiplayer and SnapMap for the game's second free content update due out tomorrow, July 29. There are two new multipla...

I was late to the party with the new Doom. I picked only picked up the game a few weeks ago. And by now, all the reviews have been written, everyone knows its great. There are already tons of articles, opinion pieces, and editoria...

Remember when we were all worried about Doom potentially sucking really hard, and then it came out and was fantastic? It was two months ago, so you should, you dingus. Well, if you played it on PC and your framerate was less than optim...

All the demons and mutants your graphics card can handle this weekend on the cheap in GMG's new Bethesda sale. We're looking at the lowest price on both Bethesda's biggest 2015 release Fallout 4 ($24) and on this year's Doom ($29).
Alo...

Doom did what most people thought was impossible when it captured the essence of the 1993 game and adapted it to 2016 standards. It was an undertaking that seemed preordained to fall flat, but id Software did an incredible job making D...

Back during their E3 conference last Sunday, Bethesda announced that Doom was getting a special demo that includes the first level -- but it was only going to be available for one week. Thankfully the publisher has announced that they've ex...

Today at E3, Bethesda confirmed that Doom will be getting updates for both Snapmap and multiplayer.
A "Hell" theme, extra weapons and items were also teased, as well as "true single-player experience" tools. One-flag CTF (Exodus) and a...

We've spent plenty of time praising Doom's single-player campaign. Our review breathlessly covers it, and we even dedicated most of a podcast to discussing it. The reason we keyed in on that aspect of the game so heavily is because the...

Maybe the biggest gaming surprise of the year so far has been how excellent Doom turned out. Seriously, there was tremendous doubt all the way up until the minute it launched. Then, once the campaign starts, well, those concerns all me...

They say if you play Doom's soundtrack backwards, you can faintly make out the lyrics, "The devil is good, actually; the devil is good actually," in repetitive locust drones.
Well, not quite, but in a move that 30 years ago would have been...

Seeing sound teams work their magic is a thing of beauty.
I've had the good fortune of seeing sound-proof rooms at work at a few studios, and the things they use for inspiration are pretty unreal at times. That also applies to the composer ...

Sure, beating Doom on the hardest difficulty with perma-death on is kind of impressive, I guess. But it also takes like five hours, to say nothing of the numerous multi-hour runs in which you'll inevitably fuck up and die and have to start...

Doom's "Ultra Nightmare" mode raises the stakes on the shooter's hardest difficulty setting, Nightmare, and adds permadeath. That means if you die once, you have to start the entire thing over.
And it only took a day! YouTube's Zero Master...

In my review-in-progress for Doom, I mentioned that "if what I've played so far is indicative of the rest of the campaign, the late embargo is absolutely nothing to be worried about." That was based on four hours of ripping the heads o...

I saw this (as a GIF) days ago and I still think about it and it still makes me happy. Perhaps you, like me, don't have any particular intention to play Doom right now, unless maybe it's cheap in a sale or some kind souls buys it for you. ...

When a review embargo is held until the day of release, potential buyers have a right to be nervous. Bethesda holding review copies of Doom until the day of release seemed damning to more than a few people.
I started playing at about ...

Doom is two days away from releasing, and it seems like we still know suspiciously little about it. Like, Bethesda has shown bits of the campaign and held multiplayer betas. Still, it all feels like one big question mark.
The recently-...

Update: Now released. Deal pricing are updated below. Expired ones are stricken out.
It's May 2016, and Hell draws nigh. Bethesda's Doom is out on Friday. Before you go to your local GameStop and throw down a full $60, consider taking advan...

Nvidia's new graphics cards are beefy. We learned at last week's reveal that they perform better than the $1000 Titan X and cost several hundred dollars less. It's a fine development for the PC gaming crowd.
One way to put into perspective...

Reviewers are drooling over Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, but if you haven't hopped on board the hype train yet, you may have lucked out monetarily since eBay deals has a rare pre-order discount on Tuesday's release. It's discounted to $49.99...

I keep forgetting that Doom is releasing on a Friday (May 13). Good timing on the "Friday the 13th" front, for one, but also having a whole weekend to tear through a new game? Much appreciated.
Bethesda has shared the launch details and if...

During yesterday's live-stream reveal of the Doom campaign, our comments section lit up with people exclaiming that this Doom wasn't enough like the Doom they knew and loved. It turns out that the single-player portion is actuall...

Bethesda's lead-up to Doom's May 13 release has been largely predicated on the game's multiplayer component. There have been several videos released and beta events staged to show off that particular aspect. Today, we get a look at the oth...
